''Don't Wanna Lose You''

Don't Wanna Lose You

Lite FM’s favorite crooner Lionel Ritchie is in heavy lover-man mode on the down-on-my-knees ballad ”Don’t Wanna Lose You”, complete with Barry White-style bedroom whispers. With musical quotes from ”Hello” and ”Easy,” this gooey act of contrition shows Richie is trading on his mid-’80s glory years. Once, twice, three times a loser.
